Government-run schools and the brainwashing of American children

“Unless the Lord build the house, they labor in vain who build it” Psalm 127:1

Christians, members of Conservative Parties, and the church body as a whole are making a tremendously dangerous mistake regarding government run schools and Common Core. Public schools are a burning building into which we send children every day with a Dixie cup of water and a pat on the head, when what we should be doing is rescuing them from the fire.

Aside from the fact that government run schools are statistically an abysmal failure with regard to providing children with an education that leads to a successful life, such institutions also systematically uproot, dismantle and eradicate the Christian teachings many children receive at home.

It is naïve and foolish to believe a few hours a week in church will undo 30+ hours a week of brainwashing. Government schools are not merely secular institutions in which religion is not part of the curriculum. Rather, many are dedicated to ANTI-Christian tenets and the teaching of godlessness.

Spinning our Wheels

As one of the worst offenders regarding the belief that we can change the government’s indoctrination institution–A.K.A. public schools– I have contacted Congressmen many times about the travesty called “national education standards” and have also cheered for politicians who claimed their platform was to “defeat” Common Core and “take back our schools.”

Many times, otherwise intelligent individuals like myself and the politicians I know do not see what should be very clear until something takes the blinders from our eyes. For me, that moment was when I was asked to review an documentary called “IndoctriNation” for film writer and author, Colin Gunn.

I never again want to hear the phrase “take back our schools.”

Government schools were never “ours” to begin with, thus dismantling the fallacy that we can take them back. Stealing the school system from the government–which is essentially what we would have to do–and turning it into a learning institution based on traditional American values will never happen. The system is what it is and cannot be changed.

Many conservatives and Christians express concern on a daily basis about Common Core and what their children are being taught in public school. However, they make the fundamental mistake of attempting to wage war against the government on this issue, while their children are simultaneously being indoctrinated in an atheist-based education system.

While mom is sending e-mails to her congressman demanding public school curriculum reform, her son is learning that the world was formed by a cosmic accident. While dad is donating money to a politician who is going to “defeat” Common Core, his eight-year-old daughter is being taught homosexuality in the classroom without his permission.

By the time American citizens realize they are misguided in their attempts to fix public schools, it will be too late to save the generation now sitting in the classroom. For this reason, Christians should be educated about why they must remove their children from public school.

Waking the Sleeping Parents

We will never again have prayer in school, we will never again have a “neutral” curriculum that does not attempt to indoctrinate children with liberal philosophies, and we will never again have a majority of unbiased teachers who present both sides of any argument.

Gunn refers to our current education system as “Pharaoh’s school,” which obviously does not make sense to those who are not of the Christian faith: however, it is merely another way of saying that this well-organized system is nothing more than a pagan learning institution.

Sending Children to Their Doom While Asking for God’s Blessing

A godless society is the result of children receiving a godless education and that is what we have in America. Conservative values are ridiculed and scorned, while liberal ideology is celebrated. This attitude, embraced by the masses, was learned in the school of the government. Therefore, rather than running around cheering for politicians who want to “overturn Common Core,” we should instead see the futility of this approach and remove our children from a place where God has already told us they do not belong:

In the First Psalm, Christians read “Blessed is the one who does not walk in step with the wicked or stand in the way that sinners take or sit in the company of mockers, but whose delight is in the law of the Lord, and who meditates on his law day and night.” (NIV) How can we send our children to public school and expect them or ourselves to be blessed? According to the aforementioned scripture, we are sending them into the precise environment God told us to avoid.

God will not honor the efforts of parents or politicians to reform the house that humanism built because such efforts are nothing more than an attempt to compromise with a pagan system built on the foundation of atheism. God will only honor the prayers we pray over our children’s minds if we follow his instructions and ensure our children are not placed in the government’s institution of indoctrination.

A Task Assigned to Parents Delegated to the Government

The Bible tells us that we are to train up our children in the way they should go, not turn this task over to a godless government. However, on a daily basis, numerous Christian parents turn their children over to total strangers about whom they know nothing and allow them to indoctrinate their minds for 12 straight years.

It is s fact that only 12 percent of children raised in Christian homes graduate from public school still embracing their faith. A whopping 88 percent graduate as liberals who no longer believe the Bible. This statistic alone dismantles the argument of many well-meaning Christians and Pastors who believe that their children can be “the salt of the earth” and effectively witness for Christ in a public school.

If we sent missionaries overseas to Africa, India and similar countries to convert people to Christianity and 88 percent of them came home converted to pagan religions instead, wouldn’t we realize we were doing something wrong? Mathew 8:13 asks us “..what good salt is if it has lost its savor?” Children and teachers cannot be the “salt of the earth” in public schools, because the minute they say the name of Jesus they are silenced: Salt without savor.

Every Christian parent and Christian pastor in the United States should sacrifice a tiny fraction of their life to view the movie IndoctriNation, which won the Jubilee Award for Best Documentary at the 2012 San Antonio Independent Christian Film Festival. The movie digs deep into the disturbing, abominable and devilish tenets taught to children in public school and how they are cleverly disguised as “national standards.” Stop trying to rebuild the Devil’s house and remove your children from Pharaoh’s school.

Wow! What a sobering report that should alert us and wake us up to an awareness of how the public schools are doing their best to corrupt our helpless children. This is the main reason so many young people believed they should support a socialist for President of the United States! Thank you, Jesse!

I enjoyed reading this article. Broadt once again has tackled a hard subject–the hijacking of our school system by the government. As I recall, there is no law that states one must send their children to public school, only a law that states a reasonable attempt must be made to educate one’s child. Public schools began as a way to ensure poor children and those unable to afford an education any other way, would be educated. However, at present, the school system is not following that very basic rule. It has, as all things run by the government, become a runaway cash cow for administrators, teachers, supervisors and for whatever else is deemed “necessary” to educate children. In my book, there is no excuse for this. The government should not be running our schools. We ARE the government, but we the people can’t seem to understand that concept. Thank you taking on another big issue. Beautifully written piece!

Religion is also brainwashing…. atheism is a belief system, christianity is also a belief system.

Religion = dogmatism.

Spirituality is not a belief, it’s a methaphysical connection to reality which transcends all belief systems. Belief systems get in the way of realizing true spirituality.

Defending belief systems is low consciousness. You can only defend beliefs when you don’t know that all beliefs are false. Study epistemology…. don’t believe anything more than 50%

Jess clearly has no understanding of the spiral dynamics evolutionary model and is brainwashed and deceived.

The 1751 machine that made everything

A short video on how technological innovation born of economic liberty has changed the world.

History is more than dates, places and battles. In many instances it’s technological advances that change the world for the betterment of all mankind. In this case it’s the story of French inventor Jacques de Vaucanson and his creation in France of the first all metal slide rest lathe, the forerunner to all modern machine tools in 1751.

Lathes had been around for centuries, but lacked the precision with hand held cutting tools. The slide rest of the Vaucanson metal lathe that provided the control to produce metal part of exacting dimensions. The lathe is said to be able to produce every other machine and machine tool. This advancement changed everything.

The producer of the video references a profound chart of World Population GCP and per Capita GCP 1 –2008 AD from data of the late Angus Maddison, similar to this produced by the Visual Capitalist, we credit them for the chart and commentary:
Image Credit: Visual Capitalist

For thousands of years, economic progress was largely linear and linked to population growth. Without machines or technological innovations, one person could only produce so much with their time and resources.

More recently, innovations in technology and energy allowed the “hockey stick” effect to come into play.

The video was produced by Machine Thinking last year.

While some may quibble about which particular machine produced this miracle The larger point is that the machines of the industrial age profoundly changed what people could produce.

As the video noted the average person in 1600 was no better off economically than someone thousands of years earlier. This is what is called the Malthusian trap and for seven thousand years, it was inescapable no matter what we did.

Machine tools such as this changed all of that, one person could produce what had taken many. This surplus could outpace births, allowing the economy to grow at an incredible pace as seen in the chart. All from the genius of the mind undergirded by the Economic liberty of the free-enterprise system. This is why this is vastly superior to the societal slavery of socialism.

Congress tries to force schools to make girls compete against biological males

Congress tries to force schools to make girls compete against biological males

Every Democrat in the House of Representatives but one were joined by two Republicans to sponsor the Equality Act, an amendment to the Civil Rights Act that would add “sexual orientation and gender identity” as protected characteristics under federal anti-discrimination law. The controversial component of the act is how it would force schools to allow biological males who identify as females to compete in girls’ athletics.

The two Republicans who joined the Democrats were Reps. John Katko of New York and Brian Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania. The lone Democrat who didn’t sponsor the bill was Illinois Rep. Dan Lipinski, the only pro-life Democrat left in the House.

234 House Democrats, 2 Republicans Co-Sponsor Bill Forcing Schools to Let Male Athletes Compete on Girls Sports Teams

Opinion

The left loves to talk about “settled science” when it comes to climate change, evolution, and other issues that pertain to politics, culture, and religion. Here’s a taste of science that is actually settled. Males are physically superior to females when it comes to athletic events. They are stronger. They are faster. They are larger.

Let’s not even go into the patently obvious reality that these transgender girls will dominate the sports. It’s continuously well documented; we’ve talked about it ourselves a few times.

Instead, let’s discuss two other important issues: safety and the political ramifications. Is it safe for a biological male who identifies as a girl to wrestle biological girls? How about a biological female who is using hormones to transition to become a male? Texas wrestler Matt Beggs won the state girls’ wrestling championship two years in a row. Watching the video, it’s clear the girls had zero chance of winning, but more importantly they were in more physical danger than they would have been had they been wrestling someone who had not been given male hormones.

The other aspect, and perhaps the only silver lining to all this, is the hope that common sense is still alive and well in America. If the GOP can make this an issue in the 2020 elections, they have an opportunity to highlight the leftist lunacy that’s spreading across the Democratic Party. I find it hard to believe a majority of Americans believe biological males should compete with biological females based on how the males identify.

Then again, this could demonstrate that America really has lost its way. If I’m wrong and a majority really doesn’t see anything wrong with this, then perhaps our fates are already sealed.

Quote

“Very disappointed in @RepBrianFitz and @RepJohnKatko for sponsoring the Equality Act. Have you ever seen a biological male wrestle a girl? If not, I’ll spoil it for you. The one with male musculature wins every time and it’s not even close. Put science over your feelings, guys.” – JD Rucker

Final Thoughts

The line needs to be drawn immediately. This isn’t just about the unfairness of biological males dominating female sports. It’s about the safety of these young ladies. Identifying as females doesn’t change the reality that they’re bigger, stronger, and faster, period.

This story was updated to demonstrate the proper sex of Matt Beggs.

Conservative Michael J. Knowles attacked with ‘odorous substance’ during campus speech

Conservative Michael J Knowles attacked with odorous substance during campus speech

The ongoing campaign of intimidation and violence against conservatives speaking on college campuses took an ugly turn last night as Daily Wire show host Michael J. Knowles was sprayed with an “odorous substance” made to seem like bleach during a YAF speech at the University of Missouri-Kansas City. He was hit in the face but wasn’t concerned, thinking it was paint or even milk. Later, he realized it was possibly bleach but was told by police it was not.

He was giving a speech titled “Men are Not Women” when the attack took place.

Here is a better angle to see the attacker and subsequent law enforcement take-down:

Here’s what was left from the water gun used by the attacker:

Michael J Knowles Attacked

Opinion

Where do we begin? This represents an escalation of tactics that seems to be becoming more prevalent over the last couple of years. It wasn’t too long ago when leftists on campus would simply protest. They learned that these protests didn’t get the kind of attention they wanted and did very little to stop conservatives from speaking on campus, so they turned to more aggressive forms of protests that could actually disrupt the speakers.

The assault on Knowles wasn’t the first time physical violence was employed and it won’t be the last. But since it won’t work to actually stop most speakers from appearing, the next stage of escalation could turn deadly. That’s the real fear and why law enforcement is unfortunately required in order to keep the speakers and those in attendance safe from the unhinged progressives.

As I’ve noted before, this isn’t a question of freedom of speech. It’s about freedom of thought. As college progressives attempt to make their campuses “safe” from the ideas that conservatives spread, what they’re really doing is stifling the types of thoughts that could free some student from a life of helplessness, victimhood, and declining personal responsibility. Many if not most conservative speakers invited by organizations like YAF offer viewpoints that these students will not hear in classrooms or in the cafeteria with friends. The concepts being quashed are driven by the philosophy that made America a great nation, the concepts that desperately need to be heard by a generation that is growing increasingly lost in their own servitude to the leftist mindset.

It’s imperative for conservatives to keep speaking, for students to start listening, and for the radical progressives to stop shouting down the ideas that could actually keep this generation from destroying the United States of America.

Final Thoughts

The escalation of suppression techniques used against conservative speakers on campus is scary. Before, it was the heckler’s veto. Today, it’s odorous substances. Tomorrow, it could be more deadly. The left can’t win with thoughts so they rely on anger.
